this is the second time i’ve posted gato barbieri here.  what can i say?  anyway, this is the full night of 10 nov 1976, both early & late shows (totally just over 2 hours!), courtesy of ‘weedwacker67’ who seeded it on dime back in 2011.  the setlists are a bit similar, but what the heck…  a little different than the vocalists i’ve been seeding lately, but it’s all good.

from original seeder’s notes:
this is some real hot latin jazz fusion being played here by gato who was touring in support of his caliente! album at this time. [early show] this album features 2 of his better known songs played here live being covers of santana’s europa and marvin gaye’s i want you.

continuing with the male vocalist theme, here’s a bit of mel tormé & george shearing.  mel torme was 66 at the time of this show, but still great.  i’ve always thought of him as a contemporary of frank sinatra, and i suppose that seen from this remove he was — only 10 years younger than sinatra.  i like having the piano trio backup (and with george shearing!), for me it really brings out the song in a way that a bigger combo with sax or trumpet doesn’t alway (though those have their own benefits as well).  there are a good few classics in this show, like a lot of his work.  and it’s an excellent recording (fm).  enjoy!
